The officer's death was a tragedy and I feel very sorry for his family, however, I am glad he shot one of them in the balls on his way out!

Shooting him in the balls and winning the fight is a much better outcome.

Suspects arrested in Officer Nettleton's death appear in North Las Vegas court

Updated: Dec 2, 2009 05:07 PM PST

North Las Vegas, NV - The six suspects arrested in connection with the murder of Officer Trevor Nettleton filed into court and faced not only a judge. They also faced a courtroom full of Metro officers, still mourning the loss of their colleague.

Those officers did not want to speak about the case on camera. But friends and relatives of the suspects did.

"It's not true, I know, they're innocent, all of them," says Deonna Beasley, who grew up with the men.

She says she doesn't believe they're capable of killing anyone, and she doesn't know why criminal complaints say they are part of the Wood Street Gang.

"No, they're not in a gang," she says. "We go to school, get jobs, get education, make money, that's all we do. The gang banging stuff, I don't know nothing about that."

Noah Russell is also standing by his brother, Prentice Marshall. He admits Marshall was treated for gunshot wounds the morning Officer Trevor Nettleton was killed, but he says he doesn't know how he got shot.
He says his brother is a good man, "Prentice Marshall supposed to be going to college next year."

"Michael Ferguson is all good," adds Beasley. "He take care of all his kids, he takes care of his responsibilities."

More about the suspects will be learned as the case progresses in court. The preliminary hearing for all six suspects is scheduled for December 17.

Wow. Just wow.

Very sad. I hope they send them away for life. I feel that if you kill a cop you should be hung in public in your crack neighborhood. Would send a very clear message!

A cop, a 65 year old grandmother, a 12 year old kid, what's the difference? Kill anybody and you should be dealt with accordingly. We're all flesh & blood with families to go home to and an eye for an eye suits me fine when it comes to the murder of any innocent person.

Wow. Just wow.

I agree. Why is it that there are always family and friends that shout to the sky that "they are innocent" and are just family men despite criminal histories that go back to before some of us were even cops. Just baffles me. I know who the shitbags in my family are and if they go down for something you won't see me in front of a camera.

Continued prayers for the family and fellow officers.

By their facial expressions you can tell they're lying, the girl won't look at the camera and she keeps looking up in the air while she's making her bullshit statements. As for the brother, "well yeah, I know my piece of shit brother got shot, but he was just walking down the street when some random unknown guy shot him, yeah, um, yeah, that's it". **** both of them too.

I hope there's a sea of green and tan in the courtroom for every hearing for these pieces of shit.

Six suspects in death of LV officer indicted

Group to be arraigned in District Court next week

The six men accused in the Nov. 19 slaying of Las Vegas police officer Trevor Nettleton have been indicted by a Clark County grand jury.

Four of the suspects are charged with multiple felonies including murder with use of a deadly weapon and burglary:

Saul Williams Jr., 20; Quadrae Scott, 18; Prentice Marshall, 18; and Adrian Pena, 17.

Half-brothers Emmitt Ferguson, 18, and Michael Ferguson, 25, are charged with accessory to murder and conspiracy.

The six men will be arraigned in District Court on Wednesday.

North Las Vegas police say Marshall, Pena, Williams and Scott were in Pena's car when they saw the garage door of Nettleton's North Las Vegas home open. Nettleton, who had just finished his patrol shift, was inside.

During an attempted robbery of Nettleton, a gunbattle ensued. Marshall was shot in the testicles and Nettleton was shot and killed by Marshall, police said.

The Ferguson brothers are accused of trying to cover up evidence related to the slaying, investigators said.

All of the defendants are in custody.

Death penalty weighed in officer's death

Three of six suspects might fit criteria, prosecutor says

Clark County prosecutors next month will consider seeking capital punishment for three defendants charged in the Nov. 19 slaying of Las Vegas police officer Trevor Nettleton.

District Attorney David Roger said the office's death penalty committee will meet to determine whether circumstances in the case merit seeking a death sentence for Prentice Marshall, 18, Saul Williams Jr., 20, and Quadrae Scott, 18.

The three are eligible because they were adults when the slaying occurred and there are aggravating circumstances, including allegations of burglary, Roger said.

Adrian Pena, 18, alleged to be the driver of the vehicle used during the shooting, would not be eligible for capital punishment because he was 17 at the time.

The four are charged with multiple felonies including murder with use of a deadly weapon, burglary and conspiracy to commit robbery.

Half-brothers Emmitt Ferguson, 18, and Michael Ferguson, 25, are charged with accessory to murder and conspiracy.

Marshall and the five other men, shackled and dressed in prison garb, appeared Wednesday in District Court before Judge Jennifer Togliatti and pleaded not guilty to the charges.

According to grand jury testimony by North Las Vegas detectives, both Williams and Scott were recorded by police saying they were in a car driven by Pena at the time of the shooting. They both said Marshall was the shooter.

Authorities say Marshall, Pena, Williams and Scott were in Pena's Chevrolet Monte Carlo when they saw the garage door of Nettleton's North Las Vegas home open. Nettleton, who had just finished his patrol shift, was inside.

During an attempted robbery of Nettleton, a gunbattle ensued. Marshall was shot in the testicles and Nettleton was shot and killed by Marshall, police said.

Investigators said Marshall, Williams, Scott and Pena were members or known associates of the Wood hybrid gang. Hybrid gangs are collections of gang members from rival gangs who hang out together.

According to testimony by a Clark County medical examiner, Nettleton was shot once in the chest. At most, Nettleton would have lived a minute or so after receiving the fatal wound, the medical examiner testified.

The Ferguson brothers are accused of trying to cover up evidence related to the slaying, specifically hiding the Glock handgun in the crawl space of an attic in a nearby home, investigators said.

Authorities believe Marshall, Williams, Scott and Pena robbed at gunpoint another man of his iPod and backpack a few blocks from Nettleton's home just before the slaying. So far, only Marshall, Williams and Scott have been charged with that robbery.

Prosecutors said Wednesday that charges against Pena relating to that robbery were pending.

On Wednesday, four of the defendants invoked their right to a speedy trial. Marshall waived his right and Pena had not made a decision yet.

A status check on the case is set for Jan. 6 before Judge David Wall.

All of the defendants remain in custody.
